Framed Lingerie Art

Lingerie is by definition worn by women, so the undergarments are supposed to highlight femininity and this is something that framed lingerie prints brilliantly achieve. Over the last couple of decades, lingerie turned from regular clothing into a glamorized accessory and the paintings highlight this quality. Peggy Abrams’ posters are celebrating classic lingerie that used to be worn at the turn of the 19th century, with the best ones being Vintage Lace, Silk and Lace or Lavender and Lace.

At a first glance, lingerie is far less effective at stirring enthusiasm when displayed on a rack, but the finest framed lingerie prints can change this misconception. Jennifer Sosik’s artwork is rather simple and straight to the point, with lingerie being the focal point of attention in all her paintings. The background is meant to catch the eye and dazzle it, but each print also conveys the message in a direct way, usually summarized in one word.
